>Better food, more people, more bars, cheaper housing.
As somebody from Dallas I almost started trying to argue with you but what nobody from Dallas or Houston like to admit, they are pretty much the same city.
Recent innovations in construction have provided residents with rather effective countermeasures to the weather.
But seriously, having moved here from a snowy/cold climate, I'm more than willing to trade an extra 20 degrees in the summer for an extra 20 degrees in the winter.
UTD, UTA, UNT, SMU, TCU, TWU - lots of higher ed here - entry level labor for growing companies. That graphic says a lot, but it doesn't say anything about the speed at which this community is coming together. I just moved back from Boulder, and I can tell you that Dallas has every bit of the activity and passion.
I jest of course. Coming from Illinois, I get poked at about the corruption we have. On the other hand, the legislative climate is a bit different (we don't try to take reproductive rights away from women, and we've got same-sex marriages).
International connections via fabulous airports, centrally located in USA, cheap labor, can-do spirit, business friendly politics, not freezing weather, and it's where JR called home :) reasonable media/advertising companies.

Caveat emptor.
